Lecture Outline

theme What is Curriculum Design?
~Aiming for a Consistent Curriculum Design~
Overview In recent years, Japan’s higher education has been required to shift to an organizational and systematic curriculum based on diploma policies and curriculum policies.
Although each university has been tackling various issues through educational reform and FD, it is said that society is still dissatisfied with the current progress in improving undergraduate education.
The most important aspect of undergraduate education as a program is policy-based curriculum design.
How can we shift from the traditional teacher-centered curriculum to an organized and systematic curriculum?
Also, how should specialized education and so-called general education be positioned in the curriculum offered at each university, and how should they be related?
Based on this awareness of the problem, we will share the process and content of the discussion during this period from the precedents of universities that have specifically worked on curriculum reform, and we will provide an opportunity for participants to obtain hints on the optimal decision-making process and problem solving at their home universities.

On Saturday, December 20th, we will hold the 3rd SD Workshop for Staff Promoting Student Growth!

In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming extremely important. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing a variety of projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and education and research support.
In the SD workshop, students will make new discoveries, deepen their awareness, and create a network of human exchange that cannot be obtained through lectures through discussions with colleagues from other companies in the same industry (staff from other universities).

If you are interested in trends in higher education policy, if you work with student staff or part-time students, or if you are interested in the “reflection” that is currently in vogue, please join us.

On Saturday, November 22nd, we will hold a lecture to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the University Consortium Kyoto (held at the same time as the Kyoto FD Executive School)!

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Foundation, the University Consortium Kyoto has decided to expand the number of participants in the “Kyoto FD Executive School,” which is usually held for university executives, and to hold a grand lecture to commemorate the 20th anniversary.

In recent years, the role of university executives has become increasingly important in improving university education, and we hope that you will participate in this commemorative lecture as an opportunity to learn about the situation surrounding universities, not only for university executives but also for those who are not directly involved in university management.

Lecture Outline

Thesis “Toward the development of human resources with the ability to open up the future ~The next 20 years when universities and high schools will take on challenges together~”
Lecturer Takayuki Shioze
(Former Assistant Director, Industrial Technology Policy Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Associate Professor in charge of Technology History, Kyoto University Museum)
Overview In the era of human resource mobility, where it is no longer the norm to work for 40 years, the skills required of human resources have changed significantly. The mere ability to memorize and accurately reproduce the wisdom of our ancestors is no longer sufficient. In such a society, where the answer is not known in the first place, and where the relationship between value and worthlessness is unstable and can change quickly, it is important to have an attitude toward “unknowingness.” There is a need for human resources who can identify their own strengths and weaknesses in response to changes in value and continue to relearn.

In order to continue to support Japan, which is transitioning from a period of high economic growth to a period of maturity, we must first recognize our position as one of a society of 7 billion people with diverse cultures and values, which is clearly different from the era when only a few countries in Japan, the United States, and Europe led the country. It is the responsibility of the university-high school partnership to accept the diversity of human resources, cultures, and values that are truly necessary, and to produce human resources who can face unexplored social issues and turn the power of diverse specialists into breakthroughs.
Instructor Biography 1998 Graduated from the Department of Precision Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University. He has served as an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kobe University, an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, and an associate professor at the Kyoto University Museum. Since July 2012, he has been working as an assistant manager in charge of technology strategy at the Industrial Technology Policy Division of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In July 2014, he returned to work as an associate professor at the Museum of Medicine, Kyoto University. He has given numerous lectures on career education in elementary, junior high, and high schools, innovator development training in companies, and the transfer of skilled skills.

Results of the Northern Kyoto Prefecture Career Education Project “Maruttoku in Kumihama”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Kumihama” by high school students, university students, and local residents in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community.

Outline of Implementation

schedule Saturday, September 20, 2014 11:00~16:00
place Gosho Inaba Honke, Nyoiji Temple (Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City)
sponsorship Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council (Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Kyoto City Board of Education, Kyoto Prefectural Federation of Private Junior and Senior High Schools, Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry, University Consortium Kyoto)
cooperation Kyoto Prefecture Northern Regional and University Cooperation Organization
participant High School Students 25 (1st and 2nd year students at Kyoto Prefectural Kumihama High School)
university student 19 (Kyoto Seika University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto Bunkyo University, Ryukoku University, Kobe University, Waseda Graduate School, etc.)
working adult 8 people (NPO Exciting Kumihama Creation Association, Kyotango City Kumihama Citizen’s Bureau)

Implementation Report

The university students entered Kumihama the day before to inspect the site and rehearsed carefully until late at night, and on the day of the event, the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was clear, and we were able to welcome the performance in a refreshing and sunny atmosphere.
The high school students gradually became more relaxed and relaxed as they walked around the city and did group work with university students and local residents. At first, some of the students were too shy to speak well, but at the end, they were willing to speak up about their dreams and career paths. During the dialogue time, I was very impressed by the friendly advice between university students and local people about the concerns of high school students.

　IMG_5717 　　　IMG_5555

Through this workshop, the high school students had the opportunity to reflect on themselves and think deeply about their own way of life, as well as to reaffirm the good points of Kumihama, and the university students were able to gain new insights about themselves by reflecting on their careers and communicating them with others. We also received comments from local residents, such as, “Conveying the charm of the region to young people, listening to their thoughts on the region and their thoughts on the future, and gaining new awareness and discoveries about the local area,” making it a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

In addition, this project was blessed with a good location, not to mention the wealthy merchant Inaba Honke, the building and garden were wonderful, and the view of the sea from Nyoiji Temple near Kumihama Bay was the best. I believe that one of the factors for our success was that we were able to work in a calm space such as a Japanese-style room, and that we were able to interact in nature, such as the blue sea, the wide sky, and the lush garden.

While referring to the results of this survey, we would like to implement such projects in other regions as well.

Research Themes Knowledge of the symbiosis of the natural environment in the lives of citizens and evaluation of the actual conditions of familiar biota
Principal Investigator Professor, Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University
Research Summary The knowledge of coexistence with the natural environment and the actual state of the biota around us, which have been nurtured in the lives of citizens, are presented through household surveys in the Shirakawa River system, field surveys at the Shirakawa Children’s Festival, questionnaires to temples and shrines on wildlife trends, field surveys of forest vegetation damage (mainly caused by deer), and surveys of townhouse gardens. Based on this, we proposed the creation of a support framework between departments in charge of the government and in cooperation with citizens so that efforts to coexist with the natural environment that take root in the lives of citizens will lead to the creation of an attractive city that is unique to Kyoto.

Conducting on-site surveys in municipal housing –
Freedom Project 1 “Spatial Composition and Transition in Municipal Housing and Surrounding Residential Areas in the Suburbs of Kyoto City”

In this survey and research theme, in collaboration with the Kyoto City Housing and Community Development Division, we are trying to clarify the relationship between municipal housing in the suburbs of the city’s 99 housing complexes and the surrounding area from (1) the exterior of the buildings bordering the housing complex, (2) the use of open space in the housing complex, and (3) the situation of the site boundary. The results of the survey are expected to be used in the development and reorganization of municipal housing in the future.

On September 17, the principal investigator, Mr./Ms. Masaki, a doctoral student at Kyoto Institute of Technology, conducted a third on-site survey at a municipal housing complex in Yamashina Ward. (The past two meetings were held in Yamashina Ward and Fushimi Ward in August.)

On the left is Mr./Ms. Masaki, the principal investigator, and on the right is Mr./Ms. Inagaki, a collaborator.













In order to clarify the relationship between municipal housing and the surrounding area, we will take photographs of the boundary between the local municipal housing site and the road and the site, and carefully record the dimensions and the width of the adjacent road.
We will also check the state of the open space on the site and the status of entrances and exits outside the site.

It is also important to know what the entrance, which is the boundary between municipal housing and the local area, looks like.

By analyzing the results of these surveys on multiple municipal housing projects and materials on the transition of municipal housing, and deciphering the characteristics of the local environment around municipal housing, it will be useful for considering the consolidation of municipal housing stock in the future. In fact, the results of such a survey were unlikely to occur before.

 

Experiments in creating the future start in the tea room –
Designated Topic (2) “Creating a Place for Exchange in the Inner City Area”

In this survey and research theme, we will conduct empirical research to foster and network the formation of merchants, businesses, and citizens who promote the rediscovery and creation of “local value” through “creating a place for exchange” that takes advantage of the attractiveness of local resources accumulated in the city center.

On the evening of August 27, a new place for exchange was set up for the revitalization of commerce in the city at the “Demonstration Experiment on the Development of Merchants and Citizens and the Formation of Networks by Creating a Place for Exchange” conducted by Professor Masanobu Nishimura of the Graduate School of Craft Sciences of Kyoto Institute of Technology in collaboration with the Kyoto City Commercial Promotion Division.

At the “Future Session,” which was accompanied by a surprising gimmick to create a tea room out of cardboard in a townhouse that was more than 100 years old, participants from a variety of attributes, including local merchants, shared ideas necessary for the future of the town with their eyes shining.

Based on these, various entities such as merchants, businesses, citizens, and artists will connect and create a “place” to create. In a few years, the city may look completely different from what it is now.

The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum will be held on Friday, December 5th!

The Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council is holding a forum for the purpose of “sharing information on domestic trends and disseminating information on initiatives in Kyoto” on the issue of collaboration and connected education between high schools and universities.

This year’s 12th Collaborative High School and University Education Forum will be held under the theme of “Connecting High School and University and Forming Academic Ability: Thinking about the Achievement Test (tentative name).” We look forward to your participation.

Outline of the event

The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum

banner3University entrance examinations are deeply linked to the school system and social structure of the country. In Japan, the premise of the academic achievement test is that a nationwide common educational curriculum has been established, and it is obligatory that the exam questions be first published and that they be published after the fact. However, these are also things that are unique to Japan from a global perspective. In the current reform of entrance examinations, the implementation of multiple common examinations, graded evaluations, the introduction of IRT (Item Response Theory), and the use of computers are also on the table for discussion. I would like to consider the realistic possibility of a “achievement test (tentative name)” including such issues.
